In the car I was thinking about how great it is to feel inner calmness. Not that I feel this inner calmness, but I have started to have glimpses of it in the past few weeks. Usually I am by myself, laying in my bed or driving in the car. I have been thinking a lot about how people change in life. Not just the normal, "grow up" changes or changes to acclamate to a new place, but change to small nuances about themselves that serve to make them better.
I was remembering how many notebooks I have from high school full of short stories and poetry that my mom has put up into the attic in order to declutter my room. I have a lot of notebooks. I think I even have more stories stored on some CD's from our old computer's hard drive. It made me feel calm to know that I could go back to something like writing for myself which I had lost site of through the busy work of college and the thrill of relationships.
Also, the sunset looked beautiful on the way home, perfect shades of purple, pink, and orange. Riley is exhausted from playing with the dogs, which is utterly adorable and awesomely convenient. And I really want a roti from Flat Top...I miss those pancake-like flatbread pieces of heaven.
